CoCoRaHS

Pagosa Weather is now the “CoCoRaHS Coordinator” for Archuleta County and is also a “Weather-Ready Nation Ambassador”.

We welcomed Hillary Fredrickson, Suanne Mclellan, Frank Snyder, and Jerry Kmack as new CoCoRaHS weather observers in the last month!!! Huge thanks to these folks who will be adding their data every day to the database and help hydrologists as they make key decisions during the drought. Thank you so much, Hillary, Suanne, Frank, and Jerry for your efforts to help us out!

Special thanks to Dana, a CoCoRaHS observer who reached out to us with questions regarding her reports. We’re now getting some very valuable data from a data sparse area. Thank you, Dana!

I grew up in Montana where my love of mountains is rooted. I was in the Air Force for 24 years; Weather Observer to Weather Forecaster to Staff Weather Officer all to ensure flight safety. Mission was to brief aircrews on clouds, winds, turbulence, icing, thunderstorms. I served a total of 8 assignments and 4 deployments around the world. After RV traveling full time for 9 years, we found paradise in Pagosa. Here we enjoy hiking, mountain biking, fishing, kayaking, snowshoeing, skiing in spectacular mountains! Plus, we're trying to solve the San Juan weather puzzle! I am an AMS member.
